A Gust
(Sonnet)

One weary from her travels came to rest
Upon drawn bed of leaflet's soft cascade
And sojourned there to venture on to nest
Beneath a leaf and twig mixed marmalade.
Though rage of nightfall sought a flurry's scorn,
On brittle auburn hues with endless sweeps,
The golden Luna danced away 'til morn --
But all was vain for one as lost who sleeps.
While twilight drifted forth, tomorrow came
With past awakenings to scourge the view ...
Aspired to look beyond a slumber's shame,
A hush swept wisp began to grow anew.
Like sprouting from a willow's parasol,
A gust, now resurrect, doth meet the Fall.

OH I love this one. What a perfect beginning to my day. I love sonnets and you have given me a wonderful vision. How very unique. Thank you for this early morning smile.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
